Both Areca Lodge and Mind Resort staff volunteered to provide and serve food at the event which also included a variety of entertaining shows and stage performances for the approximately 400 strong crowd.

The “Karoonyaves Place” handicapped institute is desperately over-crowded, understaffed and underfunded. At present, with nearly 400 residents, there are 20 disabled or handicapped people under the supervision of only 1 care-worker.
